Obama cousin blasts the president

Milton Wolf, who is running to unseat Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and is distantly related to President Barack Obama, says that if he gets to Washington it will be no family reunion.

“They say you cannot choose your family, but one thing you can do is choose to rise up and stop your family from destroying America,” Wolf, a Republican, said on CNN on Thursday. “Look, it’s nothing personal, but I think Barack Obama is the worst president in our lifetime. In fact, I think he may be the worst president in our country’s history. I’m running for the United States Senate to put a stop to his failed policies.”

Obama’s second cousin once removed told host Chris Cuomo that his politics are very removed from how D.C. is currently working.

“I’ve stood toe-to-toe with this president,” Wolf said. “I’ve looked him in the eye, I’ve told him that he’s wrong because he is wrong for what he’s doing to America.”

Wolf also said Obama representatives went to his editor after he wrote a column for the Washington Times and suggested they fire Wolf for his views. “They’ve harassed me, they’ve harassed my family, they sent the IRS after us to harass us,” Wolf said on CNN. “Then they audited my business and the White House tried to get me fired. And I’ll tell you all that did was fire me up.”

Wolf, a medical doctor, dodged prods from Cuomo on his “questionable practices” prior to his campaign, such as posting gruesome X-rays of gunshot fatalities and a person who had been decapitated on Facebook while engaging in jokes about the images, stating that he is “a doctor, not a politician.” Regardless, one thing that Wolf did not back down from was his feelings about the president.

“This is not a personal thing between me and Barack Obama, but if I must I will launch the mother of all family feuds to save America,” he said.

He added, “I think I have fallen off the Christmas card list at the White House.”
